Subject: MY DEAR DO TAKE YOUR TIME TO GO THROUGH THIS MAIL AND GET BACK TO ME PLEASE
My Dear Chosen,
I must commend you so much after going through your profile I made up my
mind that it is somebody like you that I can trust this my charity desire
with.
But before I go further Let me start by introducing myself to you, My name
is Mrs Katrin Matthew, I am a dying woman of 49 years old , I was married
with two children.
But my Husband and my two children died in an auto-crash in the middle of
last year(2007) on their way to come and welcome me from the air port, And
am writing you from my hospital bed after being diagnosed with Oesophageal
cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have
only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for
anyone (not even myself since the death of my Husband and the kids) for I
have worked to the growth of the legacy my late Husband left behind. Though
I am very rich, I was
never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my
clients and customers.
But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just
wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I pray that if God can allow and give me a second chance, I would live my
life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that strength is going down on me, I have willed and given most of my
property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a
few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul. So I have decided to
give to charity organizations, less privilege and also for the assistance of
the widows as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth So
far,
I have distributed money to some charity organizations in the Algeria
,Malaysia and Niger. Now that my health has
deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. Just recently, I
once asked some member of my family to close one of my accounts and
distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in USA and
South Asia,
surprisingly there diverted it for their selfish use, Hence, I do not trust
them anymore, as they seem not to be contented with what I have left for
them.
So with that act from my trusted once I decided to search off-shore for a
competent assistance to carry out this last project from me, So through my
laptop I decided to search for a self contempt and reliable person , and
that is how I got your contact because of your out-standing qualities in
you.
The last of my money which no one knows of, is the huge cash deposit of
Twenty six million, five hundred thousand united states dollars ($26.500.
000.00) that I have with a finance outfit in London, And I will want you to
help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to some needy regions and
organisations which I will inform you depending on your response to this
mail.
Please if you can do this please indicate by sending to me your full contact
details and your companies letter headed sheet to enable me prepare a
comprehensive agreement note to be signed by Me, You and my Remittance
officer in charge of my fund.
You can write back to me on this email address or katrinmatthew@yahoo.ca, I
cant receive your phone call now at the hospital for some security reasons
attached to my health, Remember also details of the bank in which the money
will be paid into, to enable me seek for the immediate release of the money
into your account through my correspondent abroad.
Please give this immediate attention and reply for soon I will be flown to
Germany for an operation,
Thanks and may the Good God Bless You, AMEN.
Mrs Katrin Mathew.
NB: I will appreciate your total confidentiality in this matter until the
task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last
wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want my
relation or anybody to know because they are always against charity and my
life also .
You will set aside 15% for you and for your time and 5% as miscellaneous
expenses. Please take it like that for God will overflow your cup,
AMEN.
